Essential Biochemistry - Biological Oxidation (Section 2 - No. 19)
How does the malate-aspartate shuttle contribute to ATP production?
By directly generating ATP in the cytoplasm.
By transporting NADH equivalents into the mitochondria, allowing for oxidative phosphorylation.
By transferring electrons to oxygen.
By pumping protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Explanation
The malate-aspartate shuttle enables NADH from the cytosol to enter the mitochondria, leading to ATP synthesis.
